Eziachi:
It was the reggae legend Peter Tosh who rightly sang that " When everyone is talking and crying about crime, please tell me who are the criminals"? Nigerian corruption has gone so deep that only summary execution will give a glimmer of hope. Because those fighting corruption just give them few months, they will starts to be chased for corruption.
Every aspect of life of Nigeria is crooked and bended. A nation founded on deception, sustained and kept together through deception is what Nigeria is. Many of us who chose not to continue had left, many had taken foreign nationality. Those waiting for miracle that will never happen are still hoping. Good luck to you.
WELCOME TO REAL NIGERIA your fathers killed millions to keep together!!!!!

LoL, i take that has a sort of criticism on my part, I acknowledge or comments, and I will be living in Lagos, and yes i do not LIVE in Nigeria and yes I LIVE in UK. Are you happy now smiley

This is my first day on this forum, and yet I feel subdued lol, so much going on, every one wants to take the piss out of others, I am sure every one in Nigeria ain't like that surely they are people who are kind and can see ways in understanding how different people can be.

If people living away from Nigeria start going back, maybe they can make the country better, who knows, someone says am in lalaland, but who knows.
Obviously you do not know nigeria.

Right I give in, I cam on this forum just to see the views of Nigerians, i don't even leave in Nigeria, I leave in Surrey, I am half Nigerian and half french, I am a bit disappointed with the views of a lot of Nigerians it seems like most Nigerians are very good at pointing fingers, a shame indeed.

But have got better things to do than to be on this forum so take care of yourself, I am moving to Nigeria in a weeks time and am so looking forward to it.

Why are you so stuck on the harvard parthuh? Do you have a better solution. What is wrong in the acquisition of knowledge. Our governors need to be enlightened. If part of that solution comes from Harvard then who gives a rat's ass.
You honestly believe that these governors do not know what good goverment is?You think if they really want to govern well that they do not know what to do?

What do you mean by 'enlightenment'?Enlightenment of what is good or bad?Enlightenment of right or wrong?

How ludicrous is this comment, you don't know who or where I am and you have assumed I have never left the shores of Lagos, if Britain is so great, tell me or lie to me what you do that is so great in this country, and what makes you think that there is love for you in the country, shouting loud against immigration, or are you one of those blacks that shout that they shouldn't let another black person in the country, typical load of rubbish.
Well think about what you just said again, think about it again then tell me if what you said is even reasonable, if you so leave in the UK, you will know the reason why people are been taxed so much is because there is no exportation in the country hence they have to tax people a lot to keep the economy going, however that is not needed in Nigeria, this is because of exportation of oil, the only reason why Nigeria is in a mess is the greed, and hopefully it will change, then you will all come running home.
Keep living in lalaland.

[quote author=becomrich; link=topic=282953.msg4020264#msg4020264 date=1244836047]owl, i know you must be igbo. phantom country you called it. you must be joking. i know nigeria politics. i know mend would agree, we have an Alliance in nigeria. we know who and what tribe would vote or support you on issue.

look go and find out chief obafemi awolowo won all time in ijawland. it was because of alliance. this is why the igbo have not be president in nigeria. political alliance do not favour them. if the yoruba ,edo, delta and bayelsa do not join benin republic, from my knowledge of nigeria. no igbo man die or alive would ever be president if we do not join the benin republic. the igbo either support our move to be part of benin republic , so that in 2015 an igboman can be president.

take my word, all of this mend would listen to us. i know so. it is just for the sake of peace, the yoruba have the strength, the money and means to do this without the national assembly and we cant be stop. check the satellite pictures and you would know why. we play the major part in stopping the civil war. and there is a reason why. not for the internet. we have more than 200 yorubas with over 40 to 50 million dollars. sponsorship for a mission like this is easy. ask any nigerian. they would tell so,
but our people only want peaceful means.[/quote]grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

vigasimple:
whatever giant means, by whose definition?

As far as Iam concern Nigeria is NOT even giant of WEST AFRICA.

We should stop deceiving ourselves or allow those politicians to make us feel good while stealing and raping us on a daylight robbery.

Ask yourselves thses questions, How can Nigeria be a giant of Africa, If

1. has no electrcity
2. No good roads
3. No good hospital, schools
4. No railway
5. No national Airline
6. No National shipping line


Of course if the giant of Africa is measured i nthese terms below then we are the giant of the world

1. mentally deranged politicians
2. comedy legislature
3. Lieing leadership- emergency on power within 100 days, 700 days later nothing. a sick president who refuse to leave and seek medicl help
4. massive fraudulent politicians
5. Electoral frauds


Even without the above there are other measures of greatness, self denial is certainly not one of them as we Nigerians are used to doing. You have to admit your weaknesses and work on it. That is NOT Nigeria.

Harvard University denies agreement with Nigerian governors.
Thursday, 11 June 2009 23:28 Citizen Investigations by Majek Adega E-mail | Print | PDF
It has been reported in some of Nigeria’s newspapers and Internet portals that Harvard University recently entered into an agreement with the Governors' Forum to train Nigeria’s governors’ on capacity building. The Guardian newspaper’s editorial of June 11, 2009 also addressed the issue in very harsh language. I forwarded a copy of Guardian’s editorial to Harvard University.

At the end of their jamboree and return to Nigeria, governor Akpabio, the spokesman for the group, held a press conference in Calabar and briefed members of the press about the reasons for the alleged agreement between the Governors Forum and Harvard University. He cited lack of understanding of the Constitution and preparedness for the job they willingly sought as the reasons behind the agreement. This is the same job that some of these governors considered “a do or die” affair and were willing to do anything to get. Pathetic will be a friendly way to describe governor Akpabio’s utterances.

Personally angered that the trip was nothing more than another avenue for the governors to engage in the squandering of scarce public resources; that history has taught Nigerians that most Nigerian politicians would not engage in any endeavor that does not provide an opportunity for looting of the treasury, even if such an endeavor is the acquisition of skills needed to improve their own on-the-job performance; that the trip to Harvard University may have cost the Nigerian taxpayers millions of dollars in airline tickets for the governors and their retinue of assistants/girlfriends, payment of bloated official allowances and hotel accommodation; that notwithstanding the egregious nature of the above-described components of the trip one’s indignation is further exacerbated by the realization that the trip may actually have been a ruse or decoy for squirreling looted funds out of Nigeria and into American bank accounts, I decided to get to the bottom of the story by contacting Harvard University.

I started my investigations by contacting Jake Ackman of Harvard University’s Communications Office (1-617-495-1115). Although he acknowledged reading news reports about the purported agreement, he denied knowledge of its existence. My Ackman then referred me to the office of Prof. Robert Rotberg, head of the Office of the University’s Intrastate Conflict Program (1-617-496-2258). Prof. Rotberg’s Intrastate Conflict Program coordinates the “capacity training” the governors claim to be interested in. An assistant in Prof. Rotberg’s office who did not want the name published also denied the existence of an agreement between the school and the Governor’s Forum. I was further informed by the assistant that Mr. Rotberg was in a meeting but would be happy to respond to my email. I was given Prof. Rotberg’s email address and I promptly fired off an email to him.

In my email to Mr. Rotberg, I expressed my disappointment that an esteemed institution like Harvard University would be involved in an enterprise as sleazy as the one involving the governors. I told him that Nigerian governors do not need Harvard University workshops or degrees to know that provision of water, electricity and shelter are basic rights of citizens. That they do not need Harvard University workshops or degrees to know that treasury looting is a crime against the people and the state. That they do not need Harvard University workshops or degrees to understand that the money they spent on the needless trip to Cambridge-Massachusetts could have been better spent providing basic amenities for the people; that at a cost of $2,500.00 a borehole, a community of 50-100 people/Nigerians can be given year-round access to clean water that would reduce the risks associated with water borne diseases. I further told him that the real victims of the Harvard University jamboree are the ordinary Nigerian people who could have had several boreholes installed for them with the resources spent on the jamboree. That the real victims are the new born babies and mothers dying due to lack of basic medical supplies, including incubators. I also explained that ordinary Nigerians “are the real victims of the type of financial brigandage that brought these governors to Harvard University. The victims may not be in front of you, you may never meet them, your knowledge of them may be limited to figures/statistics, but they are real human beings. They are people’s children, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, husbands and wives. Think about them when you deal with these politicians” .

I sent my email to Prof. Rotberg at about 7:00 p.m. and within an hour I received a reply from him. In his reply, not only did Prof. Rotberg deny the existence of any contract with the Nigerian governors, he said “there will never be an agreement with them” without stating why. Prof. Rotberg accused the Nigerian press of jumping the gun. If you believe Prof. Rotberg and I am tempted to, one is then forced to ask why the governors travelled to the United States and how much the trip cost them. Unlike Prof. Rotberg who saw his reputation and that of his 373 year old university at stake and decided to explain their side of the story, our politicians do not give a hoot about the governed. I do not expect the governors to provide any answers to these intrigues because they do not comprehend their responsibilities to the Nigerian people. After all, what can the voters do? The governors do not need to explain anything to anyone because they do not need the people to “vote” them back into office. All they need is Maurice Iwu.
